So who was the ding-bat from Invers that binned near Owaka last night?

Shoulda binned near Moeraki, woulda saved him all the effort and stress of trying to outrun the cops for the next 150 k's.

And his rear brakes might not have let him down.

His rear brakes...???Tell us more please.

[tigertim20]

been a few high speed bike related happenings in Otago over the last week or two hasnt there?

[scumdog]

His rear brakes...???Tell us more please.

His cornering got wilder and loser just before his bin, reckoned it was because his rear-brake faded too much??

(There's a thought he was over-cooking the corners and using his rear brake so as not to 'stand-up' the bike by braking mid-corner using the front brakes. But that's just conjecture and guesswork)

[JimO]

good pic of him on the ODT front page

I bet he had no idea how his day was about to end at that stage eh!

Looks like he was wearing some good gear.....

[JimO]

is it a R6?

[bikaholic]

YZF-R15 at 170ks?

[PrincessBandit]

I wonder if he still thinks running was a great idea. I'm sure he thought it was at the time.

[Shadows]

YZF-R15 at 170ks?

No, it's a back wheel not a biscuit.

Officer I didn't crash, I just parked at speed and had a bit of a lie-down.

He picked a poor place to crash, when you get that far south, you never know what the locals will do with you, and a good road side beating would be the nicest thing they could do!

[baptist]

:facepalm::facepalm: brake fade? brain fade more like.

[jaffaonajappa]

YZF-R15 at 170ks?

Mustve been in 8th gear.

And twin front disk, full-size rear swingarm....and a rear tyre wider than a pencil.

[hayd3n]

its kinda nice having a yellow bike for a change

[Gremlin]

Since when did the south have a motorway? :blink:

[fatzx10r]

at least now i'll stop being asked if it was me doing the runner the other night :innocent:

Huh? On a sportbike if you have your brakes on before the corner and are tipping into the corner, the bike shouldn't be standing up. Actually this is the way a racer would typically brake into a corner.... it is the "correct" way to take a corner if the objective is to go fast.

Please understand, I'm not saying one should do this during regular street riding. As far as the rear end getting lose, this often happens when braking hard for a corner and possibly not downshifting smoothly.

Some bikes might want to stand up mid corner if the brakes are applied after the corner has already started.... but if a guy is riding quickly, then I don't see why this would even be an issue.

[ducatilover]

Sop he couldn't ride for shit and was a pussy. 170k? Come on....open it up.


But, yeh, it was me.

Edit: Did he wave?

[unstuck]

Naughty boy DL. Jacob shreck(rip) would of got him.:innocent:

[Okey Dokey]

Surely no one here on kb would ride like that :innocent:

I wonder if he has saved a copy of the ODT when he appeared on the cover!

[Madness]

....But that's just conjecture and guesswork

Good to see you're using those highly developed policeman skills of yours Scummy! :yes:

[Big Dave]

Huh?

He means improperly applying the front brake after the cornering maneuver has commenced. Too late into it and setting up a high side.

[oldrider]

Just a dumbarse playing another supporting roll in the ACC $ cost increase campaign!

ACC and Nick Smith must go hysterical (with laughter) when they see these guy's in action! :yes:

"volunteering" to help them raise anti motorcycle opinion! :facepalm:

[scumdog]

Well put BD, it was what I was trying to say...and this guy (apparently) tried his rear brake to 'correct' things - only too often it seems

[Little Miss Trouble]

YZF-R15 at 170ks?

and looks remarkably like a 2002 R1...

[schrodingers cat]

Must have been low on fuel by then.

[scumdog]

Must have been low on fuel by then.

Nope.

Had managed to sneak some fuel in while in Dunedin.

Just low on "Fark I'm being chased by the rozzers and better get away from them by riding really well" skills.

[schrodingers cat]

Agreed.
Another 25 min and he'd have had to turn around anyhoo

No rego, no warrent. Bike stolen or just a rebel without a clue?

[thepom]

I say good effort....got quite far really did,nt he?

[scumdog]

I say good effort....got quite far really did,nt he?


Not far enough apparently...

And not realising a cop car is behind you is always a bad tactic.

[MIXONE]

He's lucky the didn't get the chopper out on him.

[Berries]

Since when did the south have a motorway? :blink:
The northern 'motorway' is a bit shit this time of year, the southern one is good for speed testing.

Why did I think of the Keystone Kops when I read that? They must have all been doing circuits around the one way while the bloke hid his bike behind the pump. Good job he fell off otherwise he would have got it serviced in Invers, turned round and made the midday sailing in Picton.

[slofox]

I think I might have gone to ground well before then...

[JimO]

He's lucky the didn't get the chopper out on him.

we dont got a copper chopper

[sil3nt]

He's lucky the didn't get the chopper out on him.Would take a while to ring him up and fly him on out here.

Well HE wasn't sitting in an arm-chair on front of a key-board calmly assessing his options...:no:

And why would somebody from Invers and heading that way suddenly want to get on the 'midday sailing in Picton'?:blink:

[slofox]

And why would somebody from Invers and heading that way suddenly want to get on the 'midday sailing in Picton'?:blink:

'Cause all the cops in the South Island were after him..?

[ducatilover]

So why was he going so slow and not waving? :gob: What a pussy.

[scumdog]

'Cause all the cops in the South Island were after him..?


And sneaking onto the ferry would be a shoe-in eh...

[slofox]

And sneaking onto the ferry would be a shoe-in eh...

hehehe...y'never know.

Ermmmm. It's "shoo-in" BTW...

Put it this way: If I'd been that guy, I'd want to be on the ferry ASAP...

[scumdog]

Hmm, after running for four hours + I doubt he'd have been keen on heading north again for that distance..he'd be knackered (and was) and his riding would be shit (and was).

[unstuck]

Maybe his missus was really horny and he,d been away awhile. That would be a valid reason to do that kind of thing wouldnt it? Cant understand why he came all that way on sh1 with the feds keeping a close eye on him,and then turned of to go through the catlins. To scared of the gore/mataura feds maybe.:innocent:

[slofox]

..he'd be knackered (and was) and his riding would be shit (and was).

This would indeed appear to have been the case...

I liked the earlier comment "rebel without a clue..." very apt.

[DrunkenMistake]

Its actually painted gravel.. its a rather long story..

[malfunconz]

obviously the crap weather down south made him attempt to leave the area ASAP .... prob headin to Auckland .

[Berries]

I was taking the piss out of an alleged non pursuit that took half a day and stopped in the middle for sarnies and petrol.

Either that or winding up drongos.

[Old Steve]

Well done NZ Police.

They had his plate number, so they didn't do u-turns in front of other traffic to chase him, didn't endanger other drivers/riders with a high speed chase, they just sat back until he binned it and took himself out.

Good piece of judgement on behalf of the constabulary.

Not such a good piece of judgement on behalf of the mobike rider.

[HungusMaximist]

When you're riding a Yamaha, you don't stop. Not even for the cops.

[Chancebmx25]

Hahaha wat an egg. Just let urself get pulled instead of tryn to race through roads u probs arnt familiar with. Lol and howd he crash? Wtf. Shitta

Agreed. Do not condone his actions at all, but...

How the hell did it take him 170kms to lose his legal enforcing tail? Provided he did not have a chopper tracking him, a rider competent at speed should really be able to get it over and done with in a fraction of that time. Of course, this guy by no means sounds competent. Bad decisions:

1) Choosing to run
2) and NOT having the riding ability to back it all up.

Go back to Grand Theft Auto noob.

[igor]

they have got a chopper down there. "Chopper Scumdog"

[Edbear]

True, that. I lost them on a GB400 on the open road more than once, and that thing would only do the ton if the wind was blowing in the right direction.
Probably wouldn't have got away with that down here though, there be no farken hills or corners in this part of the world and I'm 25kg heavier than I was back then. They'd probably just overtake and then finish me off with a U turn a bit further up the road.

[jrandom]

Trackdays save lives, and runners.

[festus]

I think I might have gone to ground well before then...

Dead right.........

[Beren]

So THAT's why I have to stay on a 250 for ages... so i can't outrun the cops :)

Anyone else doing the commute into Auckland from the North shore and seen a squad car with a bike pulled up several times over the last couple of days? Both times was next to heavy ish traffic so doubt it was for speeding - just thread hi-jacking to see if the cops are cracking down on summat our way...

[Maha]

His rear brakes...???Tell us more please.

....thats what slows down the wheel behind you...:blink:
